Wisdom cometh by suffering.
Self-will in the man who does not reckon wisely is by itself the weakest of all things.
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
Obstinacy standing alone is the weakest of all things in one whose mind is not possessed by wisdom.
Don't try to make intelligent decisions when your brain is hyped
God loves to help him who strives to help himself.
